Essentials of Health Care in the First Month of Pregnancy
Fetal changes The first month of pregnancy is the fetal bud period, and the growth rate of new life during this period is the fastest in its life. The sperm and egg combine at the second weekend of pregnancy. About 4 days after fertilization, the sperm and egg split into cell masses to reach the uterus along the fallopian tube. In the third week, the cell mass shed its outer membrane to prepare for implantation. In the fourth week, the blastocyst has been firmly implanted in the uterus. Almost all prototypes of the fetal nervous system and blood circulation organs have appeared in this period. The liver has developed significantly since this period. The prototypes of the eyes and nose have not yet been formed, but the prototypes of the mouth and chin can already be seen and are connected to the mother's body. The umbilical cord also begins to develop from this period.

I have broken the brittle ribs of a barrel-chested emphysema patient, a common and not unforeseen by-product of CPR in that population. I have assaulted the frail body of an elderly lady even though she begged to be allowed to die in peace--because her family wanted everything possible done to “save” her. Both died, the most common outcome of CPR in adults in my day. But nothing quite spoke to me as much as a case early in my career:
